Blue Wrasse - Cute Little Cottage with New Deck

Wonderful location for a family on a budget. Brand new expanded deck with outdoor dining and lounging. Lower level renovated in 2018 with new half bath added and new flooring and deck! Gorgeous views of Coral Bay. Cute little cottage (this is not a luxury villa) sleeps up to 6: two on queen size bed in bedroom, two in king size bed in the loft, and two on the pullout futon. Updated kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, and cooking supplies.

This cottage sits at the bottom of the lot and thus has many steps (82) down to the unit. This cottage is probably not for the elderly.

The cottage has air conditioning throughout, with the exception of the screened in porch and screened-in bathroom - what a view from the full bathroom! The bathroom was also recently renovated with all new tile and fixtures.

Relax on the deck and porch while sipping cocktails looking at the boats anchored just below. Plenty of nearby restaurants and beaches to keep you busy all day long!

In order to keep our rental rates as low as they are, the cottage only comes with 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth, and 1 beach towel per registered guest per week and linens for the number of registered guests at arrival. The cottage does not include in-stay housekeeping or towel/linen service. If you would like in-stay cleaning services you can arrange that directly with our on-island managers at your own cost. Additionally, if you feel you may need more at your arrival, please ask when making your reservation to pre-pay for 1 additional of each towel per person per week ($50 for 2 guests, $75 for 4 guests, and $100 for 6 guests) and we will add that fee to your reservation. There are several laundromats on the island as well if you would prefer to clean your own towels during your stay.

For those who have been to St John before you can rest easy that the road to the house is a concrete straightaway with no switchbacks!

Wonderful Stay
Blue Wrasse is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the busier Cruz Bay side of the island. The view is fantastic but still conveniently close to the stores and restaurants of Coral Bay. Tom and Jackie, the property managers, were so nice and helpful and gave us lots of tips on what to see and where to go. Will definitely be back next time I’m on St John!

Magical Blue Wrasse on repeat
This is our second time staying at Blue Wrasse. The cottage is magical and has all the functions one needs while in St. John. The wi-fi is generally excellent and the kitchen is supplied with top notch items. We had an amazing stay. Thank you!

Blue Wrasse Review
We had a great experience renting this property. It was very clean, pictures online are accurate, and property manager was very responsive. The views are outstanding from the deck, kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed the quiet town of Coral Bay. We plan on returning and renting this same house - we really enjoyed it.

Fantastic stay
Family vacation to St John, kids aged 7 and 9. Stairs are no joke but the payoff is privacy, solitude, and amazing views. Well worth it. Kids loved the loft bed area. I loved coffee in the mornings on the deck. Great to come back to AC after days at the beach.

1st Trip to St. John
This was our 1st trip to STJ and Blue Wrasse did not disappoint. The cottage description and details shared were spot, making our trip that much more enjoyable. It felt like were living in a tree house. The views of Coral Bay and the surrounding islands were spectacular! If you like a low key vibe while on vacation, the east side of the island is a great choice.

Great time at Blue Wrasse
My fiancée and I enjoyed our stay at Blue Wrasse. Clean, well designed place with excellent views overlooking Coral Bay. The number of steps to and from Blue Wrasse cannot be understated. Highly recommend for folks under 40 and in good health.

A Fabulous Week
What a beautiful view and adorable property for our week away! We enjoyed being on the quiet side of quieter St. John (as compared to St. Thomas). Easy drive in our rented Jeep to any/all beaches. Lovely to grill and eat dinner on the beautiful deck each evening. We hope to come back some day!

Island vacay
The property had excellent views and was in a good location. It was easy to get to the grocery store, many beaches and bars/restaurants. There were a lot of bugs and we both got bit by no see ums quite a bit which made things a little uncomfortable. It would have been nice to have better bug repllant or maybe some candles to light.

Cute Cottage with Breathtaking View!
We never grew tired of the spectacular view! We loved the open-air bathroom, and the cute cottage had everything we needed, even equipment for the beach and snorkeling. As per the description, the 99 steps were not for the faint of heart, but it led to a little piece of paradise!

Amazing views!
Loved our time here - amazing views, location, and value. Well equipped with effectively everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Only minor complaint would be we wished there were curtains or blinds for the lower level bedroom to block out the morning light (and keep it cooler!). Also a note to future guests: the tile on the screened-in porch gets VERY slippery when wet (don’t ask how we figured that out lol)

We enjoyed our stay on the hillside above Coral Bay. Nicely equipped, Clean, great location. Left us wanting or needed anything. And the view, did I mention the view, the breeze, the deck, the outdoor shower, why are we leaving?

Wonderful view
The place was amazing. It was a fun secluded cottage with just about every amenity covered. Certainly not a complaint but be aware that the bedroom ceilings are quite low. My partner is 6’ and bumped his head in the dark a few times. Beautiful place!
